HINES DENIES SOME STORIES

Claims He Never Boasted of Having Elected Lorimer. UYS TIFT TALE TO ALDRICH Telegrams Between Chicago Lumberman and Senator Lorimer Are Put in Evidence, in Original Handwriting. Washington, July 1. The senate committee investigating the election of Senator Lorimer had before it Edward Hines, millionaire lumberman, who has be*m charged with having expressed knowledge of a Lorimer election fund. Under cross-examination by Jehn-H. ,Marble, attorney for the senate investigating committee, Mr. Hines contradicted sworn testimony giveh by Herman 11. Hettler of a Cricago lumber company, before the Helm con> mittee of the Illinois senate that Hines bad boasted to him of having personally elected Lorimer. lie denied also that the lumber interests raised a big sum to lobby for tariff legislation in 1909, or that the lumber interests had anything to do with the Lorimer election, but admitted that he worked in Washington for a tariff on lumber. In addition to this testimony Mr. Hines declared that he was ‘ absolutely certain” he was not mistaken about his testimony that former Senator Aldrich told him President Taft was anxious to have Mr. Lorimer elected. Asked about a denial of this from the White House, Mr. Hines said merely that such a denial had never been “called to my attention.” Attorney Marble demanded of Mr. I fines where he got copies of telegrams he had put in evidence regarding the administration’s alleged desire to have Mr. Lorimer elected. They bore the date of May 25, 1909, the day before the election. The witness said his secretary procured copies of his telegrams from Mr. Lorimer and some of his own notes. “I remember that those are the telegrams I sent," added Mr. Hines. Senator Lorimer left the room hurriedly and returned with two telegrams “Here are the original telegrams that Mr. lorimer received from Mr. Hines,” interrupted Attorney Hanecy for Mr. Lorimer. “One of them is in Mr. Hines' cwn handwriting.” Senator Lorimer chuckled at the thought of a received telegram being in the sender's own handwriting, and Mr. Hanecy joined in the laugh at his expense.

Interest on State Bonds, Due Today, - Is Not Paid. Nashville, Tenn., July 1. As has been anticipated Tennessee will default in New York in the payment of Its July interest to the amount of about $ 170,000. It will probably be considered a technical default, since the money is forthcoming, but whether it will militate against the sale of $11,000,000 icfuucing bonds remains to be determined later. Tennessee state securities are all held in New York city. The law of that state prevent the handling by trust companies and savings banks of any securities of defaulting states for a period of ten years. * Facing this grave situation and time and again forewarned by Comptroller Dibrell that he would not pay out the money except by regular appropriation, the legislature has for the past several days dallied over an alleged “salary grab" that members of both factions in the house favored, but the same was opposed by a majority of the senate.
